Citrus County Graduate Miles Teller Being Eyed for Fantastic Four Reboot


Many would argue that "The Fantastic Four" series does not need a reboot, but somehow the Superhero genre continues to get more and more popular and therefore 20th Century Fox sees a potential money maker. It is for that reason that in 2015 we will see the return of the Fantastic Four with an entirely new cast. A couple months ago it was reported the Michael B. Jordan was being eyed to play The Human Torch, and now the rumors are swirling around that Miles Teller (who graduated from Lecanto High School) is being eyed to play Mr. Fantastic. Teller first gathered notice when he appeared in "Footloose" and "21 and Over." Now he is getting ready to star in a potential franchise starter opposite Shailene Williams in "Divergent" next year.

While I have never actually seen Teller in any of his films, I'm not sure how I feel about Mr. Fantastic being played by a 26 year old. But, if they are wanting to truly do a reboot then maybe a fresh, unexpected cast is the right way to go.
